Did you know that, if given the chance, just about anyone who is able to play a game of hopscotch will? Really! It doesn’t matter their age or what they’re doing. If presented with the opportunity to randomly hopscotch, a surprising number of people will take it. This is something that a woman named Louann Kristy has had the pleasure of learning from first-hand experience.

Louann lives in Trinidad and Tobago. While there is much to love about this Caribbean country, many people know it as the location of Carnival. It is called the “Greatest Show on Earth,” after all! Folks from all over the world gather for tons of grand celebrations. So, leading up to the days-long event, Louann created a hopscotch path outside her home. She even shared her process in the video below.

“The numbers? The handwriting? The straight lines?” someone points out in reply to Louann showing off her process. “I’m jealous of your skills.”
There’s a reason Louann is so good at this — it isn’t her first time! According to the caption of her video, she’s done this during Carnival season at least once before. And it didn’t take long for her effort to pay off! In fact, her hopscotch game started to capture the attention of strangers before the festival even began. Check out some of the best interactions she captured on camera.

“Can we just petition to have random hop scotches permanently painted on side walks across the whole world?” someone suggests, with another person adding, “This shows that the world is full of people who just wanna have fun.”

The world can be oh-so-chaotic and scary. It can be easy to lose sight of all the little joys in life. That’s part of the reason why so many people find Louann’s videos to be so uplifting. They’re reminders that, when we look for and create moments of joy, they can really add up.
